4 goats, 1 sheep and some peacocks

The reminder of God's goodness and the joy of working in this place reveals itself through unexpected gifts of kind words, encouragement, letters, phone calls, emails and visits.  Two days ago, we received a letter in the mail from Mr. and Mrs. James Teliha.  It reads,

Dear Mt. Top,

We would like to thank your organization for your help at our home. In the past I had to crawl up our front steps. A group of your campers build a handrail for me at the front and side steps on June 22, 2011.

Another group painted our shed (7/14/2011) for us since I cannot climb a ladder due to my disabilities. Our shed is used to house four goats and one sheep, plus peacocks in bad weather.

My husband, Jim, age 72 has Alzheimer's and wanted his barn painted. He had built the barn alone without help or a written plan approximately ten years ago before he got sick. Your wonderful group painted the barn on 7/28/11.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. James Teliha

And thank YOU to all the wonderful, willing servants of God that helped 430 families just like the Teliha's during the summer of 2011!
